Why did Bhisma blow his conch? He blew his conch to please Duryodhana. Why was Duryodhana displeased? Duryodhana approaching his preceptor, Drona, said, "Behold the army of the sons of Pandu arrayed for battle against you. You love them, but they have made Dhrstadyumna the general of their army, who is born to kill you." But Drona was not tricked by him and he kept quiet. So Duryodhana was displeased. Why did Drona keep quiet? Drona kept quiet because he understood that Duryodhana was talking in a diplomatic way to instigate him against the Panda's. He did not criticize his statement, because it would prove disunity among them, which was not befitting on that occasion. Nor did he support him, because he was playing trick on him and he had no fair dealing. Thus he did not speak. |
